This was a bold and brave move by Roseville in 1924 - as it took a step into the Future.

A design of things to come.

Very creative and open minded shapes from the Roseville Craftsman. Round, Square, Oblong adn angular shapes with melting and blending of colors were common in this design. The patterns would fit into the Modern Times, the Art Deco Period adn even the past. Mostly unmarked or marked with a paper label adn covered with a matt or high glass glaze. There are over 78 styles in this design and more and more are being discovered all of the time.

This piece of pottery measures

7" in height

4 1/2" in diameter

This line has grown in popularity in recent times because of the popularity of Retro items from the Mid-Century Modernism Era, that is very popular among younger people. They have re-discovered this line, along with the Silhouette Nude line and Rosecraft-Panel Nude lines. These lines are being bought up and collected by a younger collector base.

This Vaseis not marked, and the paper label is no longer attached. None of this line was marked on the bottom.

It is in the Brown & green glaze with wonderulshapes

For the age, it really is in super nice shape

There are no chips and no cracks or cracks on the upper part of the pottery.

Along the bottom rim, that is unglazed, there are some divits and chips. It is common for many pieces to have imperfections on the unglazed rim, because this is where the pottery would sit on the shelves before they were fired. And, the shelves had residue and dust and often the pieces of potteryvases would get some imperfections in the soft clay before they were fired and took on a hardness to the clay.

So, the bottom rim that is unglazed shows some imperfections andd roughness and this is the only thing that must be noted that would take away from this piece being listed as "mint condition".

Again, at the bottom, there is one little dot that has glaze flack that you could see if you were looking very closly when the vase it sitting on a shelf. All the other imperfections are completely under the vase on the unglazed rim.

Otherwise it has been well preserved and well protected

It is a dandy of a pottery piece

FUTURA

Futura is a middle period pattern introduced by Roseville Pottery around 1924. The colors vary and there is a Futura piece in just about any color scheme. Futura is Art Deco and is very popular with collectors. The shapes for the Roseville Futura pattern were primarily vases, but there were a few others, like flower blocks, bowls, baskets, jardinières, pedestals, candlesticks, and wall pockets. Futura was marked with paper labels, and some examples have been hand-written shape numbers. Over the years, Roseville collectors have developed nicknames for many of the 78 different patterns shown in the factory stock pages including such popular pieces such as Michelin Man, Elephant Leg, Tank, and many more.

INTERNATIONAL buyers

Please Read:

We have had a rash of internatonal buyers offer on our items without reading our policy on shipping.

We will not alter our shipping policies even though you emailand ask us to ship by first class or flat rate postage.

Only offer if you are willing to pay the priority mail rates.

We give our reasons below.

Based on the policies of both and Paypal, items shipped domestically and internationally must be shipped with tracking information in order for both the SELLER and BUYER to be protected by the Paypal Protection Plan. This requires that an item shipped internationallybe shipped by priority mail. The cost to ship a little envelope is now almost $30.00 for many countries and it increases for size and weight. We realize it is expensive to ship from one country to another, but those are the rates handed to us and you must be willing to pay them if you offer.We will not ship by First Class Mail because tracking and insurance is not available with this type of shipping. We will not ship by Priority Flat Rate either, because tracking and insurance is not available with Flat Rate Postage. We wish there were more financially feasible ways to ship from one country to another and still have tracking and insurance to protect both the buyer and seller but there are no other options at this time. Again,Flat Rate Priority does not offer tracking.So, please understand that we will follow the policyof and Paypal and ship with tracking - which means we only ship by PriorityMail to other countries and this is expensive.If you offer, pleaseunderstand these costs. We will not change or alter this policy, because more and more people realize they can make a claim if no tracking was provided in the shipping and if no tracking is provided, a Seller will have the entire amount of money taken from their paypal account. We have already lost over $1200 from these false claims and we can no longer afford to ship an item without tracking.

We wish and Paypal would change their policy, but until they come up with a different policy, we will follow their policy which states, Sellers must provide proof of their shipment in the case of a claim. Sending the item by priority mail with tracking is the least expensive way to do this and provide proof and tracking that the item was sent and delivered.

We also must clearly state that our shipping charges do not include other fees that you may incur, such as custom fees, duties and taxes that your local country may impose on all packages coming into the country. There is also often delays in international shipping. We cannot control how long it will take for an item to arrive.

The items are not new in the box and nothing we have ever sold has been perfect or mint. We try and list any major defect - but every item has been used and will show a degree of wear.And, sometimes it is hard to describe the degree of wear or use and everyone's perception and standards are different. So, if you are concernedaboutspecific details of any item, please email us and we will try and answer your questions. We say this because some people believe that when they buyitems on theyexpect them to look new - even if they are 50 years old.So please understand that our items are old and usedand none are perfect.
